Pretty incredible spin on MSNBC just now by some of the commentators who know him.
Do they not remember Cohen being nasty and threatening people?
Stunning.

(82,849 posts)When he was riding high, Michael Cohen was a terrific practitioner of kicking down. Anyone who wasn't level with him and his illustrious boss got little but contempt from him, if he even deigned to notice them. Threats, insults, and truculence were the coins of his realm: "Says who? Says who? Says who?" He regarded debate or discussion as a personal attack and ridiculed anyone who would question him or his boss.
Does MSNBC remember any of that?

(43,153 posts)He certainly was a piece of work when he was working for him. I'll never forget the first time I saw him...."Says who?"
It will be interesting after these three years are said and done if there's a true atonement for his past acts. I suppose people can change. We'll see if it happens here or not.

It happens a lot. People see a nice guy on the outside, but on the inside they're cruel and corrupt.
A lot of us get fooled by that.
